I'll second that.....very well written AG. No matter what that says about the so called wealthy paying for this they are dreaming if they think thats who's going to pay.The payment plan will fall to "Joe the Plumber" in no time. That we can all bet on. Not to mention our "best health care in the world" is sure to suffer. One can make the case that incentives to keep improving on our medical care and thriving to find cures for cancer and such will take a back seat to this bill. There are REASONS so many our againstthis. </P>[/quote]hi Sec hows it going

If you ever wanted the middle class to disappear faster. They just did it!

All policies created by self-righteous washington evil people who are career politicians and have no clue what it's like to run a business....

Yet they know what's good for us, their lack of experience in the real world apparently makes them pro's to write policies......

They look at us as babies and kids, we're not the babies, they are....they're the ones dipping into the cookie jar every time they need money. They just write up a new policy to tax us on....well...whatever they want.

[quote user="Kase-1"][quote user="SEC105"]So our County Executive swithched from Democrat to Republican this past week........does he knowwhich side the bread is buttered come this November?[][/quote]Ugh, I F'n HATE Steve Levy.... That guy's an arrogant clown shoe pr*ck. With all the rampant problems in Suffolk county (heroin epidemic, gang violence, hate crimes, and his HORRIBLE handling of the illegal immigrant situation) there's NO WAY he gets elected in the upcoming election. Only reason he's running Republican is cause there's not a ice cube's chance in hell he'd beat out Cuomo for the Democratic running and the Republicans only chance (Rick Lazio) is over and done

So tell us what really think? lol Actually he's aget to the point type of guy. Not a bad guy when you get to meet him. He lives nearby me. One of the fewpols who tells like it is when it comes budgets and money. He used to bring his lunch in abrown bag to the county legislaturewhile the others were dining out somewhere. I know he pisses off the unions but he does have a point......they must get real with whats happening in the county financially if all are to survive and thrive. I come from a union family just for the record.</p>

We still friends?[]</p>[/quote]LOL, I still love ya dont worry....

He may be good when it comes to the budget but we need more than a CPA as our Gov. Other than balancing the books he hasnt done much for the county. Im all for the unions as well but some of the retired 'fat cats' are raking in a DISGUSTING amount of money as well as the admins who sweet talk the lobbyists and politicans for half a million per year....... And we wonder why the MTA and LIRR is in debt another 100million every other week

(Im from a union family as well.... Got a TON of Steamfitters in my fam)

having no partisanship I just look at what he inherited and I really don't see what he's done as poor in any way

If we had lost GM I don't know what it would be like now.....just the supplier manpower lost would have decimated our economies. There are still a ton of loopholes for the speculators....just look what they've done to the sugar market the last 2 weeks ... but the financial lobby is as strong as it comes and most in that industry have leveraged themselves so far that they can't do the noble thing and act properly.

You guys need to do something about your health care costs or the great US of A will be bankrupt and god help us all if that day ever comes

[quote user="bansaw"]every time I think I'm beginning to understand you Americans you do something just before I do.

How you can't want health care for all citizens boggles my mind. To have it get to the level it has is quite shocking.

but I still love ya guys

[/quote]</P>

Any sane person wants healthcare for all citizens.</P>

But it has to be put togther in both a way that will work, can be paid for, and done ethically.</P>

That is not what has occurred here.</P>

This has always been a land of free choice. There is no choice here. If someone chooses not to purchase healthcare insurance, our government is going to penalize those folks.</P>

And what are the insurance companies going to do with their premiums now that they know EVERY American has to buy health insurance or be penalized? The myth is that insurance companies will have to lower their premiums to compete. The reality is that they don't have to do anything but keep the premiums at the same level or raise them.</P>

Fewer bright young people will choose medical school and will opt for a career elswhere. ( It's already been happening for 3 or 4 years )</P>

Physician's Assistant's and Nurse Practioners who now see patients who have minor issues will soon be seeing patients for ailments that are beyond the scope of their expertise. I see the trend already as a healthcare recruiter. Remember, these are people who couldn't get into Medical School to become a doctor.</P>

The quality of healthcare goes down. Wait time goes up. And we all suffer.</P>

I couldn't agree with you more, BB62. In my 63 years, the worst ever, and at a sickeningly fast pace. But, prior administrations, going back to LBJ, have certainly contributed to a gradual decline. You could argue that it started when JFK picked up the french baggage in Viet Nam. </P>

Little chinks here and there, all adding up. There have been warnings about future funding of Social Secirity for 40 years. But, this health care fiasco, and bailing out our large companies to the tune of billions/trillions, plus the ongoing cost for supporting our efforts in Afghan and Iraq, have all crystallized the dilemma to a point where even the least astute of our citizins recognize big future problems.</P>

For the first time ever, SS is in the red.</P>

So, I'm 63 and figure I'll be OK in my tenure... but I'm concerned about my 2 sons, and my 17 year old grand daughter. She's 17, and 45 years from now, where is this once great country??</P>
